Except for the wash ( which looks good, just not my cup of tea ), I really like what you did. I'm thinking of making a mold of my RM Starscream lasers with bigger posts to fit. The ones he has are way too big. I want to make a mold so I can cast new ones repeatedly for the other six seekers we're sure to get.

I think I'm going to be using the null rays from my oversized RM starscream for classics whenever I get him. Those cannons just look WAY too big on a mold whos chest already looks a bit on the wide side.

wow. I love the wash, makes it look like alot more effort was put into the paint job than the original. Makes me wish they had done something like that on all of the Cybertron series, so they would look more like they do in the stock pictures.

Okay. So this is the one things that's friving me crazy. Megatron's Fusion Cannon. It's mounted on the underside of his arm, when it should be the side. It just doesn't look right. So here's my question. Any thoughts on rotating either the cannon or the hand? I think it would be a simple matter to switch the hand out with another one that has the rod hinge on the side. Thoughts?

This bugs me as well. Due to the transformation, I think moving the cannon to the side would not work too well. However, I have thought of cutting the fist off and gluing it back on sideways. The cannon would still be on the bottom though when you compare the elbow. Whatever you do though, you got to do it on both arms so they match.

Don't own him yet, but heres a thought, make swivel hinges both at the wrist and directly below the elbow. This way he could turn his hand so the gun is on the side and still bend at the elbow.

you can't put a swivel below the elbow. the sides of the forearm wouldn't allow the elbow to bend. you can already swivel above the elbow to put the cannon in the right position if his elbow is straight.

I did the same, but I also outlined prime's cab window/chest with silver also, there's actually a thin molded line to follow, as well as wipers. I painted the silly blue on his shoulders silver and his actual grill and bumper both silver as well as the yellow on his knee-caps. man its amazing how much better he looks.

oh yeah, I also detail painted the pump looking piece of his exhaust rifle, so that in truck mode, you have silver on the stacks on the front.

Im currently working on Prime's trim and some other areas and Rodimus I removed the yellow on the head and I gotta do something about that crappy gun they gave him... Bumblebee I'll kepp the way he is (There's a possiblility of reproing his head to a larger scale for an Alternator sized Bumblebee) and gave him a gun from one of the K.O. Autobot Combiners from the Victory series that broke.
Megatron will get some treatment as well as a way to fix the cannon problem.
Astrotrain is ok so far...
Starscream I haven't gotten yet...
